My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

There’s too much caution about calling Farage and Reform racist. They have no such timidity when they threaten to strip us of our rights and protections, to mass deport people and kill them at sea. They routinely insult, perv, vilify and hate people. You don’t ‘nice’ that away. You call it out.

BBC Question Time appearances Zarah Sultana 1 Jeremy Corbyn 1 Mick Lynch 1 - Nigel Farage 38 Very, very biased selection, even more than Fiona Bruce.

Pollsters Redfield and Wilton, which have consistently produced some of the highest figures for Reform of any firm, employed a senior aide to Farage to oversee their political polling, without disclosing his role. A second Farage aide was also used to place exclusive polling by R+W in the press

Both of these guys lied about their friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and less than a year later we learned that they both hung out on his island. It’s weird nobody talks about that anymore.

Israel has just banned all Arab Parties from running in their upcoming elections. Arabs make up 21% of Israeli Citizens they have now been banned from having any representation. Israel isn't like Nazi Germany. It is Nazi Germany.

The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘white, angry old man’s’ advice to go back where they came from.

I am really scared of what’s happening. Massive donations from billionaires, masked thugs who are no doubt bankrolled by the same billionaires. I am scared and the police just arrest peaceful people. I am scared.

We had a super day on Saturday for our Tea for Tools campaign! It was definitely a busy one, but managed to get a few snaps just before we closed 🤗 Thanks to everyone who came along and supported us.
